Nope. I'm locked in. I suppose I could call in, but that isn't right and I couldn't look at myself in the mirror if I did. Besides, my wife and I agreed that if I can't spend the holodays with the family, the next best thing would be to spend it serving.
" I suppose I could call in..."
Nope.

My aunt used to work in Parkland Hospital (Dallas) ER admitting. She had some real good stories, and the best one was about the psychotic hispanic that came in, stripped all his clothes off except he kept a knife, and rode naked up and down in an elevator until they could finally catch him.
